As we made our way down the path back to our house, I look over to see Moonlight still lost in her own little world. "Moonlight?" I called out, watching her snap back to reality.

She looked up at me, a blush still visible on her face. "Yes?" She chirped out.

"Are you ok?" I ask, slightly amused at her reaction upon finding out what I've got planned.

"Yes! Perfect!" She shouted out, still in shock, blushing immensely.

I laughed softly. "Are you sure, because for some reason you're acting rather strange." I say with a smirk.

She huffed out, playfully pushing me. "You are so mean." She said, her cheeks puffed out as she pouts.

I chuckled softly, "Oh, I'm so terrible. The absolute worse. How dare I rub your legs and back any time you ask. A princess such as yourself should not even have to ask! How uncouth of me. Please forgive me, my liege." I joked, sarcastically bowing before her.

She rolled her eyes, picking me up with her magic and flipping me upside down. "You are such an asshole." She huffed out before grinning, placing her hands on my cheeks to bring me in for a kiss. "You're lucky you're cute." She hummed out softly, my own cheeks getting flushed.

"Come on, let's get you home." She said, still levitating me behind. "You shall prove your loyalty to your princess by giving me a back rub!" She added, a smirk on her lips.

"Oh, absolutely my lieg-" I get cut off as I get launched through the air by her, crashing into a nearby tree.

As the night passed, I laid in bed thinking about everything that I had just agreed to. Will I actually be good enough to be the chieftain? Will I be good enough to prove myself to everyone and surpass expectations.

I looked down at Moonlight as she is nestled up to me, her head resting on my chest, a soft smile on her face. Will I be a good enough husband for her is what I'm more concerned about.

I looked back up at the ceiling, the feeling of worry hitting me harder and harder. I suddenly feel her hand on my chest, gently tugging at my fur. " Are you ok?" She asked, still partially asleep, her eyes still closed.

"Y-yeah." I stuttered out.

I see her eyes shoot open before sitting up and looking at me dead in the eyes. "Don't lie to me." She demanded before narrowing her eyes on me.

I gave a heavy sigh before looking up at her. "I'm scared." I said sheepishly before hanging my head, ashamed.

"Scared? Of what?" She said, now completely confused, though with her stare easing up.

"I'm scared of if I'm going to be good enough for all this and be able to not only meet expectations, but surpass them. And most importantly,"I said, my throat getting tight, my eyes slightly beginning to tear up. "Will I be good enough for you." I said, my throat feeling tighter with each passing word.

She paused for a moment before cradling my head in her arms and pulled me close to her. "Now you listen here, you need to stop thinking like that. You especially need to stop beating yourself up." She said softly, her hand combing through my hair.

I felt a warmth as she pulled me close to her as well laid back, my head now resting on her chest. I hear her heart beating. "And most of all, you are absolutely everything I could every ask for." She said, softly petting through my hair still.

I nodded softly, wrapping my arms around her, tears now flowing freely. She placed both hands on my cheeks to pull my face up to hers.

I see her eyes, those beautiful diamond eyes. "I love you, Smokey and don't ever forget that." She assured me before kissing me.

I felt all worry suddenly wash away, a smile quickly replacing the frown that I had. "And I love you, Moonlight. I shall never forget that." I hummed out softly.

She booped my nose and smirked. "Good!" She chirped out, before giving me another kiss. "Now, how about we try to get back to sleep?" She yawned out.

I chuckled softly, and nodded. I go to lay beside her, but was held down by her. "No, you stay here." She said wrapping her arms around my head again and pull me into her.

"I am twice your size, are you not worried I'll accidentally crush you in our sleep?" I replied, my face smooshed against her chest.

"Nah, besides, after last night, I figured out I'm a little more durable than I had originally thought." She joked, her fingers combing through my hair again.

I nuzzled against her, the sound of her heart echoing in my ear again. I was out within a matter of seconds.

[Moonlight's Perspective]

I continue to stroke his hair, yawning occasionally. I was tired, but didn't want to go back to sleep just yet.

I look around at the house, different ideas popping into my head on what to do. Though it pops back into my head what he said earlier. Making me his bride!

I feel myself getting giddy again, but try to calm down. After a few breaths I look back down at him. He might be a jerk, but he's my jerk. I lean down to kiss him on top of the head, before getting comfortable myself.

As I begin to doze off, I hear a shriek come from outside. Smokey's ears perked up, before he quickly pushed himself up. "What was that?" He asked, before a sudden explosion rips into the village.

Aside from glass being destroyed, we're ok. "Get your mother's and get in the basement, now!" He shouted, before grabbing his pants and pulling a big hammer from under the bed.

I grab his shirt and put it on before running outside, running over to the manor. As I make it to the front door, another explosion goes off, but was closer.

I feel the gust from the shockwave. More screams ripping through the night. I feel someone pull me inside,

I open my eyes to see mom and mother standing over me. They're talking, but the only thing I can hear is a loud ringing.

I begin to panic and look up to mother. "I can't hear anything." I said to only see their faces turn pale.

They look at each other in worry before helping me back on my feet. The ringing still apparent in my ears.

I shake my head, bringing me back to my senses. "Smokey said we need to get to the house and into the basement." I said, though received doubting looks.

I feel the ground shake again. They both look at me and nod, Mother quickly casting a shield around us.

As we go outside, we see carnage, destruction, death. I froze, my mind knowing what to do, but my body refusing to budge.

I suddenly feel mom shove me, bringing me back to reality. I follow behind mother and into the house and into the basement.

Mom's horn began to light up, using it to light up the basement. Mother turned to me, quickly taking her hands and pressing her fingers into the side of my head, her own horn lighting up.

"....fully this isn't permanent damage, I won't be able to fix that." I hear mother say as the ringing slowly faded. "I-I can hear!" I shouted, thankful to have not lost my hearing.

As she removed her hands, though the ringing came back, causing me to cover my ears to no avail. "It's permanent..." I barely hear mother say.

"No, I can still hear you, it's just really difficult." I say, rubbing the side of my head. "What in the world is going on?" I ask as another explosion going off in the distance.

"We don't know. The last time a war like this broke out was with the changelings." Mother admitted, snapping her fingers, a phone appearing in front of her.

She quickly scrolled through it and brought it up to her ear. "Discord, get everyone available and warp to my position. There is an emergency." Mother said before hanging up.

A second passed before multiple discords appear, each carrying a separate very exhausted, very confused individuals. Rainbow Dash, Uncle Shining Armor, Aunt Cadence, and two Discord's carrying Spike, who was still asleep.

"He wouldn't wake up." Discord said, plopping Spike down. Spike huffed before sitting up. "What's the kids doing, Rarity?" He said, looking frantically around only to see us.

"So, what's with the surprise summons?" Yawned out Rainbow Dash as she stretched her wings out.

"Well" she was interrupted by a sudden explosion. "...that." she added.

Their looks went from worry to determination in a mater of seconds, though our faces quickly went to fear hearing a scream of pure carnal rage.

"SMASH!" Shouted out something monstrous off in the distance. "I SMASH ALL!" it shouted again before the ground violently shook beneath that.

"What is that?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"I don't know." Twilight said, scared to see what's above us.

Uncle Shining grab a sword of the wall, quickly rushing upstairs with Spike, Dash and Discord following behind shortly after. We followed behind them to see the house in utter ruins around us.

We suddenly hear that roar again further up the mountain, only to see this monster of a stallion chasing a group of pegasus, his back glowing in blue marks in the shape of mountain side.

"CRUSH ALL!" It roared out, echoing harshly against the mountains.

"What's up at the top of at mountain?" Discord asked.

"Smokey's grandmother, also the village elder." Twilight said as we all began to chase after it.

"So do we hurt it a lot or take it ou-" "Absolutely not! We are to do little, to no damage at all to him, am I understood." Twilight demanded, her eyes locked on Shining, as we made our way up.

As well closed in, we hear another explosion go off at the top of the mountain, the stallion coming to a complete stop.

As the smoke settled around us, we see that stallion standing still, though we hear a low rumble coming from it. The rumble gradually gets louder until it falls into a loud bellowing screaming from the monster.

We watch it leap into the crowd of pegasus, all of them lunging towards it, but were brutally ripped to shreds, only leaving one alive.

As we rush up to them, Mother quickly casts her magic to freeze him as he begins to charge the final pegasus.

The pegasus goes to take off, but is stopped by Dash. "Now where do you think you're going!" She said, grabbing a female pegasus in a solid black uniform of sorts.

We all gave a sigh of relief, though hear a crack in the ice with a loud rumble coming from it. "Dash, take her to the dungeon. Everyone else, get ready!"Mother said, rolling up her sleeves.

The creature was quick to break through the ice. As it does so, it turned around to face us. It roared in roared in our faces before turning back around to chase after Rainbow Dash.

Mother froze it's leg, it quickly to collapse. "LEAVE ALONE!" It shouted out, slamming his legs together to break the ice.

"Let me try." Discord said,flying by mother, snapping his fingers, the creature slowing sinking into the ground.

It was quick to notice as he spread a set of mountains wings, almost covering the valley. Discord snapped his fingers again causing the creature to now be stuck in the ground.

Each flap causing huge gust as her tried to take off, though as he falls, he collapsed into the ground, Discord locking him further into earth.

"Smokey!" Mother called out, almost in a scolding manner, the creatures ears folding back.

"Wait, that's Smokey?!" Everyone asked, in shock.

Mother nodded, all of us following her as we step around Smokey to get in front of him. "I figured it was when I saw it's react to seeing that explosion near his grandmother's home." She said, before turning to look at Discord.

"Go check to see if she is ok. If she is, take her immediately to the castle infirmary. Shining, you and Cadence check the rest of the village. Spike, you help them."

They all nodded and take off, only leaving Mom, Mother, Smokey, and myself. I walk up to him and reach out to him, only for him to flinch and pull away from me.

I look at him to see terror, pain, anger, and sorrow in his eyes. I quickly wrap my arms around his head, as he began to trash around, but was quick to calm down.

I began to pet along his head again, resting his head on my chest. Smokey began to shrink down to his normal self, Discord letting him loose from the improvised trap.

"Are you ok?" He finally said, his voice weak. As I look at him, his body is covered in cuts, holes, and other various wounds.

"I'm fine, but you're injured." I said as the reality began to hit me.

He shook his head. "I'm fi-"

He was interrupted as I flicked his ear. "To hell you are!" I said, grabbing him by his cheeks to face me.

"I...guess I should see...doctor." He yawned out, leaning against me before exhaustion hit him. I gave a defeated sigh before cradling his head against me.

"So, now we just gotta figure out who done the most damage, them or Smokey..." Spike said with all of them looking at Smokey hesitantly.

Mother looked at him with another type of glint in her eye. "What could have caused that type of transformation?" She asked herself, scratching the bottom of her chin.

Discord popped back in front of us with a sigh of relief. "She's hurt, but she's going to be fine." He said in his normal cheerful tone.

We all gave a collective sigh of relief upon hearing the news. "Discord, would you mind taking Smokey and I to the hospital as well?" I ask.

"Why certainly, if that's ok with your mother." He said, all of us looking at her.

"Yeah, besides, if he wakes up and goes into another rampage, you can actually calm him. I'm going to help in recovering others."

"I'm gonna go with them, just in case she needs help with calming Smokey down." Mom said, coming to stand with us beside of Discord as we warp back to the castle infirmary.

I wanted to try something new by giving us a look into Moonlight's perspective. Hopefully, y'all will like it.
